Anthony's Pizza & Pasta — Restaurant in Colorado Springs

I ate at Anthony's, today, and had a very good experience.

First, to describe the place: pretty small (8 tables) building, but has a full bar, an openly visible (clean) kitchen, and all tables/floor/counters were tidy and clean.

Second, the food was good. Not amazing, but I don't think it's really fair to review a place on their pizza-by-the-slice, which is what I had. I ordered 2 slices, they came out pretty quickly, and were good. They were very large (1/8 of a 22" pizza), the crust was light and a little crunchy, and the piece that I added toppings to was loaded. The cheese garlic bread was VERY good (suggested by the staff - and was available in a single portion size).

Third, the staff was extraordinary. One guy was manning the front and taking orders. He was very polite and helpful, gave good suggestions, AND: although this is clearly an "order/pay at the front" type of place, he did that while doing a full service table-side order at one table with a couple of high-maintenance-type ladies AND bringing out food to all tables AND bussing all of the tables! He also checked in with me, several times, to make sure I was doing ok. (Owners: I don't have his name, but I'm sure you know who this guy is - you've got something extremely rare, there! I would steal him away from you and have him work for me!)

Lastly, the price was extremely reasonable: I paid under $16 (including tax) for an appetizer, 2 giant slices of pizza (one, of which, I added 3 toppings), and a drink. No question that the value was very high, here.

All in all, a very good experience. I'll definitely be back to try a full pizza and some...

I really wanted to rate this place better, but things are a little rough. Not the food or service, but they’ve crossed the line into overpriced, unless I’m missing something.

First I wanted to say - the service was friendly, and the food was good. So that is not my issue. It was a quiet night and the staff was friendly and quick.

My issue is the fact that a lot of restaurants are taking the inflation issue a little far, and running a little long with it. This seems to be one of them.

Ordered a plain 12” cheese pizza, cheese ravioli, meatballs and two diet cokes. $50. Really. I mean come on. Add the expected tip, and we’re at like $60 for what would be like $35 a couple years ago. This is going to run people off, guys.

I was especially shocked that the $7 (!!) for a side of meatballs only consisted of two small one-inch meatballs. For $7 I really figured it’d be a bit more than that.. And I get it’s not a national chain, but charging $2 more for a 12” pizza than the big chains charge for a large is a bit rich.

That, and as others have said, the soda machine is eternally empty. Not sure why y’all have it if you’re not gonna use it?

I’d really go 2.5 stars but will round it to 3 to give them benefit of the doubt. Guys, the economy is slowing. I’m not going to pay full-service restaurant prices for an order-at-the-counter pizza joint no matter how good it is, and I’m sure...

My recent visit to Anthony's was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to the exceptional service provided by Liz. From the moment we walked through the door, it was evident that this establishment takes customer satisfaction to heart.

Upon entering, we were greeted warmly by Liz, who immediately made us feel welcome and appreciated. Her genuine enthusiasm for the restaurant and its offerings set a positive tone for the entire dining experience. Throughout our meal, Liz went above and beyond to ensure that everything was to our liking, making personalized recommendations and attending to our every need with a smile.

There are many NY style pizzerias in the area; what truly sets Anthony's apart, however, is the exceptional level of customer service provided by Liz and her team. Despite a packed restaurant, they managed to get our food out quickly and make each guest feel valued and attended to, creating an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality that is truly rare to find.

In conclusion, my experience was nothing short of delightful, thanks in no small part to the outstanding service provided by Liz. Whether you're craving a classic slice or looking to try something new, I highly recommend paying a visit to this gem of a pizzeria. With Liz at the helm, you're guaranteed not only a fantastic meal but also a memorable dining experience that will keep you coming...
